Thought of the Week...

A Matter of Time

Listen to the salutation of the dawn.

Look to this day for it is life, the very life of life.

In its brief course lie all the realities and truths of existence:

The joy of growth

The splendor of action

The glory of power.

For yesterday is but a memory and tomorrow a vision

But today well lived makes every yesterday a memory of happiness and every tomorrow a vision of hope.

Live well therefore to this day.                     - Two-thousand-year-old Sanskrit poem
